RE: Looking for W7 whois freeware

["Scott Berkman" <scott () sberkman net>]

I use Launchy (a keystroke launcher similar to GnomeDo, Quicksilver, etc)
and it's Runner plugin with some bat scripts that reference the builtin
whois DOS/CLI command to create my own.

So for example, to look up an IP at ARIN I just hit my hotkey (Atl-Space)
and type arin <tab> <IP> enter.  My bat script really just runs whois, sizes
the command prompt window, and waits for user input before disappearing.

I'm happy to share my scripts off list if you are interested.

Subject: Looking for W7 whois freeware

I am looking for a Window 7 GUI utility that does raw whois - not the
standard domain lookup, but rather allows me to specify and change the whois
server I am talking to and allows me to customize the whois search string
for IPs or ASNs or anything else a whois server will accept, like:
"-B -G as378".

I know of ezwhois but am looking for something better (for example - they
don't have whois.ripe.net listed - one can add it but not save it).

Thanks,
Hank
